Abstract
Studies of the properties of exotic nuclei have revealed a surprising richness and diversity in their shapes, structures, and decay modes far exceeding our understandings and expectations of even a decay ago1,2,3. By exotic is meant nuclei under extreme conditions not found in nuclei naturally in the earth; that is, nuclei far from stabiity with neutron numbers much larger or much smaller than those of the stable isotopes of a given element, or with Z well beyond 92, or with very high angular momenta even approaching fission limits. In this same decade, studies of heavy ion collisions as reported at this conference have been extended up to uranium on curium with possible evidence for the formations of giant nuclear molecules with combined Z up to 188, which may exist for periods very long compared to their collision times.
